Ok I am new to the Linux shell script.

What command do you use to end a bash script.sh?

I need to end the script I am running from /dev/scd0, so I can umount the drive. During the script I call a 2nd one on the systems hard drive, and transfer to the /root, but I can not umount the cdrom drive. Gives error - device is busy.

If somthing is running on a terminal, something like CTRL+C will kill it.
If this does not work try CTRL +Z and then
But in most cases when you have a process using a mounted partition and you get a device busy
try to identify the process and then kill it.

You can exit a BASH script using “exit”.

You can also kill a running process using where PID is the process ID from a command like top or /sbin/pidof

You can't unmount a device from the VFS (virtual filesystem switch) properly while any file or directory handles are open within the part of the virtual filesystem that points to the device. You get a message saying “device busy”. What you can do here (assuming you have a non-ancient kernel) is a “lazy unmount”. Type into a terminal for more information.

You need to use command:
This command will kill it no matter what user is doing on scd0

Out of curiosity, is fuser -k a user-accessible app? And if say root is running a script, does that count as accessing a file? I'm just curious to find out if a user could kill a script started by root by terminating the process reading the script...

Ok looks like I am getting a lot of feed back. Thanks.

Let me add some info here. I am using Mandrake v9.2. I am running this script from the Konsole cls as the root user. I have tried end, done, and exit 0 as commands to kill the 1st script. Below are the 2 scripts I am running. #1 is from /mnt/scd0 (on cd), then transfers to HDD script #2. At this point I am trying to unmount the /mnt/cdrom to change out the media, but not matter what I have tried the drive stays mounted.

The device is busy because the konsole's shell is using it, not the script.

A script can't change the working directory of the shell that it's called from, so you won't be able to unmount the device from the second script while the shell in your konsole session has /mnt/cdrom as the working directory.

It would be better to have the first script cd into /mnt/cdrom (perhaps passed as a command-line option to the script); that way, the script can be run from another directory. Alternatively, you should be able to do a umount -l to delay unmounting of the device until the konsole's shell has finished with it.
